Clandestine Devices Celebrates 2022 XBIZ Honors Win

LOS ANGELES — Clandestine Devices, maker of the Mimic, Mimic+ and Companion pleasure devices, has kicked off the new year with a successful ANME/XBIZ Show as well as a 2022 XBIZ Honors win for “Boutique Pleasure Products Company of the Year."

"Starting a new novelty company is very difficult. I’m thankful that in the few years we’ve been around we’ve been recognized and awarded for each exciting product we release and as a notable company,” CEO and Founder Ashley G said. “Thank you to XBIZ for the honors.”

A recent mention by Cosmopolitan magazine that extolled Clandestine's flagship product, the Companion, gave the company an invaluable market boost.

"After the Companion was featured in the September issue of Cosmopolitan as the first of the ‘15 inclusive sex toys that are very, very cool,’ interest has skyrocketed and retailers across the U.S. and abroad have jumped on board to stock this ‘must-have’ product,” a company rep explained. “With the addition of our exclusive distribution partner in Europe, Tonga, this ‘boutique’ brand is becoming a worldwide powerhouse in the novelty industry.”

"This year we are focused on supporting our distributors and retailers through expanded point-of-purchase marketing materials and trainings," added the rep. "We look forward to seeing everyone in person at the Altitude Intimates Show in March at our first in-person show in two years."

Winners of the retail edition of the 2022 XBIZ Honors, presented by Satisfyer, were announced last month during an exclusive live broadcast on XBIZ.net. Find a full list of recipients here.
